Colorado Attorney General issues cease-and-desist order to Woodland Park Bible conference [View all]

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser has issued a cease-and desist order to Andrew Wommack Ministries of Woodland Park, northwest of Colorado Springs, saying the organization's Summer Family Bible Conference violated public health orders.

The July 2 order for the week-long conference that started June 29 comes as churches holding indoor services have become hot spots for outbreaks of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.

Despite the directive, the conference, a bible teaching and worship event, continued as scheduled through its completion at noon on July 3, ministry spokeswoman Eileen Quinn said.

The campus was closed to visitors Monday; but a summer school session for the Bible college is in operation until July 31 with 20 students, Quinn said.

Colorado has recorded nearly 35,000 Covid-19 cases, and 1,700 deaths.

Colorado Atty. Gen. Phil Weiser: Immediate compliance with the cease-and-desist order is required, and any continued noncompliance will result in a temporary restraining order.
